ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

Apply Power

BEFORE YOU APPLY POWER TO THE GRINDER, REFER TO THE "IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS".

115 Volt Model Only. Plug the control box power cord into a standard 115V AC 15-amp grounded receptacle. See FIG. 5.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS GRINDER HAS ITS OWN PERMANENT POWER CONNECTION FROM THE POWER DISTRIBUTION PANEL, WITH NO OTHER MAJOR POWER DRAW EQUIPMENT ON THE SAME LINE.

IT IS REQUIRED THAT THE POWER DELIVERED TO THIS GRINDER IS 115 VAC & 15 AMPS. THE TOLERANCE ON THIS POWER REQUIREMENT IS +/- 5%. THEREFORE THE MINIMUM VOLTAGE REQUIREMENT IS 109VAC WITH 15 AMPS. VOLTAGE MUST BE CHECKED WITH ALL EQUIPMENT UNDER LOAD (OPERATING) ON THE CIRCUIT.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS GRINDER WITH AN EXTENSION CORD.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS GRINDER ON A GROUND FAULT INTERUPTER (GFI) CIRCUIT. THE (GFI) WILL TRIP CONSTANTLY.

PROPER GROUNDING OF THE RECEPTACLE GROUND IN YOUR BUILDING MUST BE VERIFIED. IMPROPER GROUNDING IN YOUR BUILDING MAY CAUSE THE GRINDER TO MALFUNCTION.

When installing the grinder, the following guidelines should be used to establish the wire size between the power panel in your building and the grinder receptacle. Note that the wiring in your building must be per code between main power panels and sub panels.

FOR 15 AMP RATED LARGE MACHINES BUILDING WIRING

The grinder is equipped with a high-low voltage relay which is factory preset at 100-140 VAC. If the power supply line does not deliver 100-140 VAC power under load, the relay willopen and trip out the starter. If this occurs, your power supply line is incorrrect and must be correct before proceeding further with the grinder.

For 0 to 30 Feet ( 0 to 9 m) from panel to receptacle = Use 14 Ga. (2.5 mm) Wire.

For 30 to 50 Feet (9 to 15 m) from panel to receptacle = Use 12 Ga. (4.0mm ) Wire.

For 50 to 80 Feet (15 to 24 m) from panel to receptacle = Use 10 Ga. (6.0 mm) Wire.

For 80 to 140 Feet (24 to 42 m) from panel to receptacle = Use 8 Ga. (10.0 mm) Wire.

DAILY MAINTENANCE IS SPECIFIED ON PAGE 6, AND IS TO BE PERFORMED BY THE OPERATOR.

LISTED BELOW ARE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE ITEMS TO BE PERFORMED BY YOUR COMPANY'S MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT:

Periodic Maintenance

1.Clean the Traverse Rails by wiping down with CRC3-36 or equivalent on a weekly basis.

2. Replace the four foam rail wipers as necessary and at least every 6 months of operation. (FIG. 6)

3.Clean the interior of the Coolant Tray as necessary and at least every 6 months.

4.Clean and lubricate the traverse bearings per the procedure below as necessary and at least every 6 months.

5.Check the brushes on the traverse drive motor once every 36 months. Replace as necessary.

Lubrication Of Linear Bearings

STEP 1 – Thoroughly clean the both traverse shafts.

STEP 2 – Flood spray both shafts with CRC 3-36 until the lubricant is dripping off the shafts. (Do not use a Teflon-based lubricant) Then run the grinding head assembly back and forth through the full range of travel. This will remove the dust and deposits from inside the bearings. Repeat spraying the shafts, moving the grinding head, and wiping the shafts clean until the lubrication is clear of deposits when moving the grinding head back and forth.

STEP 3 – With a clean rag, wipe off the excess amount of lubricant from the shafts. Run the grinding head assembly through the full range of travel and wipe the shafts after each traverse. Repeat until the shafts feel dry. This completes the lubrication process.

IMPORTANT:

If the unit will be shut down for an extended period of time, more than four weeks, then the shafts and other appropriate parts of the unit should be flooded with lubricant and that lubricant left in place until the unit is brought back into service. When the unit is brought back into service the full lubrication procedure as stated above should be repeated.
